    Overall this is an incredible game and a must play experience. The feel of the game is pervasive and stays with you while you aren't playing it as only the best games do.

    While InnerSpace struggles a bit on the technical side of things, the core game is a wonderful flight through worn-out but still beautiful sci-fi landscapes.

    It might not be the longest game of all time, but the exploration of this very unique take on exploration adventures is worth the admission fee.

    Players more loving of a slow and contemplative gaming experience are certain to love InnerSpace, finding that it offers them a series of strange and beautiful worlds to explore.

    Relaxing piece where you can fly. Controls would need a upgrade, story-connection is weak. But relaxation part works just fine, so what?

    Good for meditation, bad for playing.

    InnerSpace wears its inspirations on its sleeve, and manages to replicate the tranquil atmosphere it’s clearly aiming for. Its flight is enjoyable, with breath-taking views and colourful planets to poke around in. But it’s progression and overall narrative really buckle under the weight, making the crumbling Inverse a wasted space for this otherwise relaxing exploration title.

    InnerSpace features a unique game world with some nice moments of quaint exploration and set pieces, but on the whole it’s a bit too cramped and pricey to truly soar.

    A great game to relax with, but it's lacking in ambition.

    Despite its lack of ambition, InnerSpace fulfills what it promises: a calm exploration title with much more underlying narrative than the average of its genre.

    Tedious “search expeditions” accompanied by dull music and sprinkles of boring text — that is all you will ever find in InnerSpace.

    In theory it’s a relaxing experience, but before you start relaxing, you need to learn to live with InnerSpace’s quite a few problems. [03/2018, p.60]

    As it stands, it's a beautiful but wasted opportunity. [March 2018, p.81]

It is the joint venture of 4 founders who lunched a successful Kickstarter campaign and eventually delivered. The game has an interesting premise: You fly around and dive/glide in some sort of a motorized glider who can turn to a submarine in a world which is basically upside down on itself - meaning the "Universe" is really in the inner part of the sphere and the water and ground as well as other things - on the outer perimeter. So how is the game ?

    While the graphics are quite nice and surreal and the music do contribute to the chill atmosphere - Several flaws quickly show rise. The controls are quite frustrating. Why there is no Mouse flight ? You are basically bound to the "ASDWQE" keyboard scheme with "Space" and "Shift" as Accelerate / Decelerate. You can change controls but Mouse flight is not supported as default. Maybe it is possible to set it up somehow though I doubt it. In addition - you are force to move forward always. No standing still in this game - which can impair orientation in the game world. No map is supported also. Just use your memory I guess. I understand it can be a bit difficult to build a 3d map but I think the creators could have been more thoughtful and creative in this regard. Regrading the movement -Yaw is painfully slow while pitch and roll are much faster.

    On the bright side of things - I really liked the chill atmosphere, the story was somewhat interesting and music as well as visuals were pretty good.

    If they could make the story even deeper maybe I will care to master the controls more.
    Good things:
    1. Pretty nice graphics and artsy style.
    2. Chill atmosphere and sound.
    3. The story was kind of interesting.

    Bad things:
    1. No mouse navigation is supported.
    2. Controls makes the game unnecessarily more difficult.

    Final verdict: 6.5 out of 10. I'd love to see a more polished product as this has certainly got some good things going for it.    … Full Review »

Even when holding the brake the whole time the plane is too fast to hit targets, and the large FOV distortion is really perturbing and disorientating. The "too fast" + FOV was enough to get me to stop playing early on.

    I like the idea, but the execution is unpolished.    … Full Review »

    An absolute turd. Couldn't even get through the tutorial with keyboard and mouse. Thank the maker I didn't actually pay for this. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
